From the promise of exponentially faster computers, new ways to transmit and store information, and vastly improved sensing capabilities, quantum science has become an extremely active area of research, providing a wide range of platforms, each with its particular strength. With quantum gases of ultracold atoms, experiments have had tremendous success in tackling quantum many-body problems, where unexpected and qualitatively new phenomena can emerge. These problems are notoriously complex owing to the large number of interacting particles, strong interactions, disorder, or nonlinear dynamics. This is the general context of this internship work. Our group aims at understanding the behavior of strongly-interacting fermionic systems using an atom-based quantum simulator featuring single-atom imaging and manipulation capabilities. During this internship, you will take your first steps in the team by contributing with an experimental project (several options) with the perspective to join us as a PhD student in the Fall 2025.
